This week, we’re re-introducing the Cake Mix Recipe Cards from Miss Rosie’s Carrie Nelson. These wonderful little papers, designed to be used with Layer Cakes (10″ square precuts), make quilting so precise with so little effort. If you can stitch on a dotted line and cut on a solid line, you are good as gold!!! Then, the inner designer in you can come out and play a little and make all sorts of fun projects with the units.
We also played a little with the Cupcake Recipe Cards that work with Charm Squares (5″ precuts). I always have a blast moving the pieces around to see how many different patterns I can come up with. Add a consistent background and you have a beautiful quilt when you are done – and it’s pretty darn perfect.
So, we hope you enjoy this week’s tidbits. See ya next week.
